Nice apology for the Court. Thanks.

You want us to distinguish between "dissidents" (apolitical and therefore virtuous) and "the resistance" (political and therefore irrelevant). But everything is political, especially your right to live a "normal life." Maybe get out on the street with us and then tell us who we are.

Most of the evidence that Rauch analyzes has existed since 2016.

In coming days, I expect elaborate acknowledgments from Rauch with respect to the wetness of water, Catholicism of the Pope, and the existence of cowflop in barnyards.

Pundits like this are a part of the problem.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

"I’d told him that I wanted to understand his journey from liberal Democrat and environmental activist to MAGA insider and Kennedy-family heretic, on the theory that by examining his odyssey, I might better understand what separates us and help narrow the political divide."

What a pile, Michael.

Thanks for our daily dose of New York arrogance. You have zero idea what lies East of the Hudson.

Another utterly useless exercise in trying to understand fascism, after almost 10 years of useless exercises. Fascism appeals to people. It's not more complicated than that. And there is no middle ground between fascism and democracy. All you can do is beat it, and you do that by standing up to it.

Finan sort of agrees with the fascists. I mean, he thinks they have a point, right? And the Atlantic prints it.

How can you be this obtuse? The choice is between using the available legal tools to fight authoritarianism, or simply surrendering. It's not a "Sophie's Choice" - there's no choice at all. Surrender is the same as losing the fight. If you fight, you have a chance. How is that not clear?

What a stinking pile. The Floyd unrest responded to a murder by police that we all watched. Jan. 6 responded to a deliberate, self serving lie told by an authoritarian president. The two could not be more different in source and justification. Yet you connect them and suggest equivalence.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. β€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The quickest way to a man’s heart is to insert a needle between the xiphoid process and left costal margin at a 15-to-30-degree angle, directed towards the left shoulder
